Team banking on veterans staying healthy and Bonds staying focused

With Opening Day around the corner, The Chronicle’s Henry Schulman podcasts his assessment of the 2006 San Francisco Giants, whose fortunes depend on keeping an aging lineup as healthy as possible.

For example, Henry tells Chronicle sports editor Glenn Schwarz that 41-year-old outfielder Steve Finley played like a 31-year-old during the spring, but wonders how old he will look in the fall.

And Henry talks about the biggest question facing the Giants going into the season – how will embattled superstar Barry Bonds be affected by Major League Baseball’s new investigation into alleged steroid use?
